Sweet Licks Barkery…. the why
Why We Started Baking (For Our Pups, and Yours)
Hi, we're Greg and Shoanette. Like you, our dogs aren't just pets—they are the unsung members of our family. A while back, we realized we were tired of feeling guilty or confused every time we handed out a reward. We just wanted a clean, whole-ingredient treat we could feel completely at peace giving to our pup-kids.
So, we started Sweet Licks Barkery right here in McKinney, Texas. We traded the mystery ingredients for real, human-grade food , combining our home-kitchen passion with commercial-grade safety standards.
Because we want the absolute best for our pups, we build every recipe with purpose:
The Science of Nourishment: We don't guess with our dogs' health. We use science-backed research and USDA data to get the nutritional ratios just right.
Conscious Sourcing: We obsess over ingredient quality, choosing 100% organic meats, cage-free eggs, and locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
Superfoods, Zero Fillers: We pack our treats with antioxidant-rich superfoods, organic fruits, and vegetables. By flash-baking and freeze-drying our handcrafted small batches , we lock in all that natural goodness—meaning our recipes are completely free from fillers, artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to foster moments of pure joy and strengthen the special bond between you and your pet.
We’d love for you to treat your best friend. You can grab a bag right here on our website, or come swap dog stories with us in person at the local DFW Farmers Markets!
